[Environmental health care and public health]

The impact of the environment on health is difficult to detect at the individual level due to the multifactorial nature of the associated pathologies. However, the widespread prevalence of exposure to environmental risk factors makes the environment an important determinant of population health. Its importance will grow with climate change, and the healthcare system will be confronted with this issue. As a significant contributor to change itself, the healthcare system will need to reduce its environmental footprint.
